Don't hafta tell a girl and fella
About a drive-in
Or some romantic moon it seems
Right from the moment that those lovers start arrivin'
You'll see more kissin' (whistling) in the cars
Than on the screen

I play out my role
Why I've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when I'm beaten
All those lonely films
And all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen
An' the tears for real not acted, anymore

(In my mind different voices call)
What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
(In my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now I feel so small
(I don't know whether to laugh or cry)
The long hot summer just passed me by

It was so strange the way he held my hand
I wanted more than just a one night stand
He had a way of making me believe
That he was mine and that he'd never leave

彼の手のつなぎ方がとても変わってた
一夜だけの恋になんてしたくなかった
彼は私に信じさせる力があったのね
彼は私のものと、彼を手放さないと

I know that
I should take my friend's advice
'Cause if it happened once
You know it happens twice
If there's a chance then
I know I've got to try
I'll make him dance with me
I'll make him tell me why
He's a pretender
He's a pretender
